Well somebody ... has to represent the little bows.
That may be the flagship of slow bows but it's still a S-L-O-W bow.😂

"EXPERTS???"...
You'd have a difficult time convincing anyone who has been around here for any amount of time that we're "experts." 😂
Everyone comes ... to the table with a lifetime of character development. That's on top of their inherited DNA. All that figures into their "buying philosophy." If you broke down the decision into 10 segments like speed, energy, warrantee, initial price, reliability, maintenance cost, durability, quality, company CS, etc., etc., and assigned a score to each segment you'd wind up with hundreds of different "scores." One guy speed = 10 and price = 0. The next guy speed =0 and price = 10. You can see the potential for diverse choices. Now consider the same thing goes for broadheads, arrows, hunting clothes, blinds, treestands, etc. Add it all up and you get a forum and guys debating and helping each other spend their money. 😂

It boils down to wants.
Just like my truck i paid it off last week. Here i set with a 2017 F150 with a 5.0 and 6 speed tranny that hasn't rolled over 45,000 miles yet. That's in perfect shape that according to Kelly Blue Book Books for $37,000. I'm sure i could go trade it in and drive a new truck off the Lot today, and not have all that much new money in it. But what's it going to do (meaningfully) that my truck won't do nothing is what. There would be 2 reasons in my mind i wanted a new truck or i want to keep up with the Jones.
Just like my bows i have now. I have never missed a deer wounded a deer or even had to track a deer after i shot them with FOC and SWAT X MAG 37 deer and counting. And i have shot deer out to 60 yards the bulk being 40 ish to 50 ish yards. I have never missed a opportunity to shoot a deer i wanted to kill or missed a min of hunting because of a break down.
So i set here and think whats $3000 for a bow $1500 for a scope and $300 for arrows and broadheads going to get me. Am i going to kill more deer no. Are they going to be bigger Bucks no. Am i going to shoot farther No.
I will be setting here next year with the same amount of meat in the freezer and horns on the wall.
In both cases its wants and there's nothing wrong with wants.
